1. Field of the invention
The invention concerns an instrument for artificial insemination, embryo transfer or sampling follicular liquids in mammals in general and in horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, deer and all carnivores in particular.
2. Description of the prior art
There are known laparoscopy techniques for "in situ" manipulation of the genital tract and the ovaries using instruments manipulated from outside the animal but inserted into the abdominal cavity through the opening in a trocar previously inserted through the skin and the peritoneum. This technique is employed when the neck of the uterus is difficult to pierce, as in goats, or even impossible to pierce, as in sheep and dogs. It is preferred over surgical intervention (laparotomy) which usually causes as a post-operative complication adherence of the broad ligament and/or of the peritoneum to the oviduct and/or the uterus and/or endometrial adhesions.
The invention is therefore concerned with an instrument that can be used for artificial insemination or embryo transfer by a transperitoneal route, for example in goats, sheep and dogs, or by the natural path where the morphology of the mammal lends itself to this. This instrument may also be applied to sampling follicular liquids by the cervical route.
There are already known (French patent application No. 85 12 386 of Aug. 14, 1985) syringes formed by a sheath and a piston translational movement of which is accurately controlled by a thumbwheel carried by a sleeve coupled to the anterior end of the sheath. In this embodiment the anterior end of the sheath is extended by a needle coupled to a plug comprising a conical cavity, this plug being adhesively bonded or welded to the inside of the anterior end of the sheath. It is then possible to use either a piston provided with a removable sealing head or (where the sheath encloses a fine sterilized packaging straw) the plunger stem itself, the piston head being in this case removed and replaced by the "factory" plug usually closing off the packaging straw.
The sheath is protected externally by a rigid cover or tubular plug preventing it deforming when it is inserted.
One object of the invention consists in improvements to this known instrument so that it may be used, especially in the transperitoneal technique, under the best possible handling and dosage control conditions, whether for artificial insemination or for embryo transfer.
Another object of the invention is to free one hand of the operator so that he can manipulate simultaneously the transfer instrument and the endoscope.
A final object of the invention is to mask the needle during the insertion of the instrument to avoid bruising, injuring or stressing the animal.
The invention consists in an instrument for artificial insemination or embryo trnasfer by a transperitoneal and/or cervical route in mammals or for sampling follicular liquids by the cervical route, of the kind constituted by a syringe formed by a sheath and a piston adapted to move in translation in the sheath in a fluid-tight way by sliding therein, a rigid cover protecting the exterior of the sheath, a manipulator sleeve in which the sheath is immobilized, a rotary member on the sleeve adapted to actuate the piston, a needle at an anterior end of the sheath, and a palpator which covers and is guided by the cover and has a length which is greater than that of the cover and less than the combined length of the sheath and the needle, whereby the needle of the syringe is selectively covered during insertion of the instrument or exposed in whole or in part when the instrument is positioned facing one of the two uterine horns by axial sliding movement of the cover.
In accordance with one characteristic feature of the invention and for the purpose of monitoring visually, by endoscopic means, the insemination or embryo transfer operation, an anterior end of the palpator comprises at least one graduated radial slot enabling movement of the piston within the sheath to be seen, the sheath being transparent to this end.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description and the appended drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view partly in longitudinal cross-section of the instrument in accordance with the invention, employing a fine semen packaging straw.
FIGS. 2a through 2d are views in cross-section of the anterior part of the sheath equipped with needles of different sizes and shapes usable in particular for intervention by the cervical route.
FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal cross-section of the end of the sheath coupled to a semi-rigid needle in a plastics material intended for embryo transfer.
The instrument shown in FIG. 1 is constituted, in the known way, by a syringe formed by a semi-rigid sheath 1 made from a transparent, flexible and deformable plastics material in which moves in a fluid-tight way a piston 2 that is able to move to and fro in translation and the plunger stem 21 of which can optionally receive a removable head providing a seal with the bore in the sheath 1 or be used on its own, as in the example of FIG. 1 where a sterilized semen packaging straw 3 is used. In the example shown in FIG. 2a only, the piston head 22 is formed by a cap crimped over the forward end of the plunger stem and comprising a rounded surface 23 merging with an annular lip 24 of greater diameter than its nominal diameter, this lip having a diameter slightly greater than that of the bore in the sheath 1 which deforms radially as the piston head moves along it. In this way an excellent seal without jamming is obtained within the sheath.
In the second case (FIG. 1) the plunger stem 21 bears directly on the "factory" plug 4 of the straw which then itself serves as the piston head. To this end the diameter of the plunger stem 21 is slightly greater than that of the passage inside the packaging straw 3 so that said stem can, by displacing the "factory" plug, expell the contents of said straw through the needle 5 which extends the sheath 1.
The needle is fastened to a plug 6 adhesively bonded or welded to the interior of the forward part of the sheath 1, said plug comprising a conical cavity 7 into which the anterior end of the straw 3 may be simply force-fitted. It is to be understood that the syringe may be used as previously stated, without any straw (especially where the semen used is fresh) and in this case the plunger stem 21 is provided at its forward end with a removable piston head 22 like that described hereinabove with reference to FIG. 2a.
Also in the known way, the sheath 1 is fitted to a handle 8 for manipulating it, by means of a grub screw 9, for example, in such a way that it is immobilized in translation and in rotation.
The plunger stem 21 projects from the posterior end of the sheath 1 and passes through the handle 8 to project from its rear surface 81. The handle includes a cavity 10 in which is mounted free to rotate to and fro a thumbwheel 11 provided with at least two diametrally opposite notches 111 -112, the angular travel of 180� between these notches corresponding to a linear travel of the piston 2 equal to one half-dose, for the purpose of inseminating one uterine horn. The peripheral edge of the thumbwheel 11 is in contact with the plunger stem 21 and the thumbwheel is advantageously mounted on a pin 12 housed in a vertical slot 13 enabling it to be pressed strongly against the plunger stem.
Finally, the sheath 1 is protected externally by a rigid cover 14 designed to protect the sheath 1, this cover extending over only part of the length of said sheath and screwing into the manipulator sleeve 8, after insertion of an O-ring seal 141.
To adapt this instrument to the technique of artificial insemination and embryo transfer by the transperitoneal route, the syringe is enclosed in a palpator 15 that can slide freely in the axial direction on the cover 14 which serves as a guide for it. The length of the palpator is slightly less than that of the sheath (inclusive of the length of the needle 5) so that it is able to assume at least two distinct positions, on the one hand a so-called "syringe insertion" position (as shown in chain-dotted outline with the reference number 151), in which case the needle 5 is covered by the palpator, and on the other hand a so-called "operational" position (as shown in full line with the reference number 15) in which case the needle 5 projects to a greater or lesser degree relative to the end 152 of the palpator.
The palpator 15 advantageously comprises one or more graduated longitudinal slots 16 situated near the anterior part of the sheath 1, enabling displacement of the piston 2 by the thumbwheel 11 to be monitored by viewing it through the sheath. The end of the palpator is rounded off to avoid injuring the subject.
The palpator further comprises at its posterior end a tulip-shaped shoulder 17 which, when it is fully retracted, bears on the forward front surface 81 of the handle 8. On the other hand, when the palpator is in the insertion phase (151), the shoulder 17 is moved away from this front surface 81.
The palpator comprises at the position of its tulip-shaped shoulder 17 an O-ring seal 18 opposing passage of the gas that is usually blown into the space between the viscera and the abdominal wall of the subject during this type of procedure. This O-ring 18 consequently provides a perfect seal by closing off any lamellar interstices that might remain between the conduit in the palpator and the periphery of the stiffener cover 14.
In accordance with another characteristic feature of the invention, the handle 8 comprises a second notch 19 diametrally opposite the notched thumbwheel 11 on which the thumb is placed, this notch being designed to receive the index finger of the operator. The stem 21 of the piston 2 may advantageously comprise at its posterior end one or more visual markers 20, once again to enable its linear travel to be monitored.
If this instrument is used by the transperitoneal route, two fine incisions are made in the abdominal wall of the animal, one receiving the sleeve of a trocar into the aperture in which an endoscope will be inserted, while the other receives a second trocar intended to serve as a guide for the syringe in accordance with the invention. It is to be understood that the diameter of the aperture in this second trocar corresponds substantially to that of the palpator 15 but that its length is less than that of the latter so that the graduated viewing windows 16 which make it possible to monitor the travel of the piston 2 and thus the precise dosage of the semen or medium are not masked. When the second trocar is fitted, the operator inserts the syringe into the aperture in the trocar, taking care to hold the palpator in the position denoted 151, that is to say in the insertion phase in which the needle 5 is covered. The palpator is held with one hand only, the operator placing his thumb on the thumbwheel 11 and his index finger in the holding notch 19, while the ring finger and the little finger are placed one on each side of the tulip-shaped shoulder 17.
Once the syringe is in place, the operator slides the palpator back in the axial direction, optionally until the shoulder 17 butts up against the front surface 81 of the handle 8. In this position the needle 5 projects to a greater or lesser degree relative to the forward end of the palpator 15. It then remains only to pierce the uterine horn and then to inject the semen or transfer the embryos, by simple rotation of the thumbwheel 11 which causes linear displacement of the piston 2 in the sheath 1 or in the packaging straw 3. The travel of the piston is monitored either by means of the marker or markers 20 provided at its rear end or by sighting through the graduated viewing window 16, such sighting being facilitated by the illumination provided by the endoscope.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the needle 5 is adapted to pierce the uterine horn. It is therefore made of metal, tapered and bevelled (with three flats) so that, with a single, gentle thrust, it can be passed through the wall of the uterine horn or the membrane of the follicle. The syringes shown in FIGS. 2a through 2d are more specifically intended for artificial insemination, embryo transfer and sampling of follicular liquids by the natural route, that is to say by the cervical route, which is faster, easier, less stressful and less costly than laparoscopy techniques.
The sheath shown in FIG. 2a comprises, as in FIG. 1, a plug 6 and a metal needle 5, the plug being housed in the anterior part of the sheath 1 and fixed by adhesive bonding or ultrasonic welding. The needle 5 is protected externally, during transport, by a protective skirt 21 in the form of a section of tube coaxial with and exterior to the needle 5. Note that the plug 6 comprises internally a conical cavity 7 for optionally receiving a packaging straw, this cavity merging with the passage 51 in the needle without any sharp corners to avoid possible bruising of the embryo.
In the example shown in FIG. 2a only, the piston is constituted by the plunger stem 21 the forward end of which is covered by the piston head 22 which is in the form of a cap whose forward front surface 23 is rounded, merging with the nominal diameter of the cap 22 through an annular lip 24 providing the seal with the bore in the sheath 1. The sheath is deliberately made from a flexible and deformable material so that it is deformed slightly by the annular lip 24 as the latter moves along it. Finally, the forward edge 11 of the sheath 1 merging with the metal needle 5 is covered by a ring 22 molded in one piece with the plug and eliminating any sharp corners on the sheath in order to avoid injuring the animal during insertion of the instrument.
In FIG. 2b the metal needle 5 is extended by a second, coaxial and external tube 23 adhesively bonded or ultrasonically welded to the forward edge 11 of the sheath. The metal needle 5 serves to support and guide the tube 23 whose insertion end 231 is rounded off to avoid injury. Once again the passage in the metal needle 5 merges with the frustoconical cavity 7 in the plug 6 without any sharp corners to avoid any injury to the embryos. Finally, a molded ring 24 covers the sharp corner at the forward end of the sheath. The tube 23 may be made from a rigid plastics material or metal and may be curved as and when required, that is to say at the time of use, to suit the instrument to the morphology of the animal. This type of syringe is used in particular for embryo transfer by the cervical route and for artificial insemination by laparoscopy. It is, moreover, perfectly suitable for use on human females.
FIG. 2c is comparable to FIG. 2b in all respects except that the metal needle 5 is eliminiated and a tube 25 is fixed directly into the plug 6. The tube 25 may be made from Delrin or metal and once again will be curved as and when required according to the species of animal to be treated. To avoid injuring the animal the forward end of the tube is rounded off and the sharp corner on the forward section of the sheath is masked by a ring 26 molded in one piece with the plug 6.
In FIG. 2d the needle is particularly intended for artificial insemination of goats and deer by the cervical route and comprises a one-piece plug 27 of slightly tapering shape the operative end 271 of which is substantially hemispherical. This needle 27 comprises an annular groove 28 for fixing the sheath 1. The needle/sheath joint may be made either by a reservoir of adhesive 29 inserted into the annular groove 28 or by shaping the anterior end 30 of the sheath into a form resembling a hairpin-type clip.
The portion of the needle 27 inserted into the sheath 1 is slightly reduced in diameter and tapered at the end, to favor the passage of the sheath, as visible at 272. Also, this portion of the needle resembles the plug 6 of FIGS. 2a through 2c and comprises a frustoconical cavity 31 adapted to receive a packaging straw 3. As in FIGS. 2a through 2c, the plug is flared at 273 to favor insertion of the straw. Finally, the portion of the needle situated beyond the sheath is slightly tulip-shaped so as to merge with the diameter of said sheath and consequently avoid any projecting corners that could injure or stress the animal. It is to be understood that where the trumps 23, 25 and 27 are made from a plastics material, use is made of non-toxic materials having some rigidity but able to be curved to suit the morphology of the animal.
In FIG. 3 the needle 5 is semi-rigid and is made as an extruded capillary tube 32 extending into the anterior end of the sheath 1. This capillary tube extends into the sheath 1 over a length substantially equal to that by which it extends out of said sheath. To this end the end of the sheath comprises a restriction 33 to match the diameter of the capillary tube 32 which is adhesively bonded or sealed at 34 to the interior of the restriction 33. The needle 32 comprises at its forward end a swelling 35 forming a sort of head having at least two functions, one of which is to blunt the needle to prevent it injuring or stressing the animal and the other of which is to prevent the embryo from being sucked out. This type of needle is more specifically intended for embryo transfer as the capillary tube, by virtue of its fineness and its length, is particularly well adapted to opposing loss of embryos. The embryo usually being trapped between two air bubbles in its "middle", the use of a capillary tube is more secure. The capillary tube used here is of small diameter (in the order of a few tenths of a millimeter) and its length of approximately 10 to 15 cm is precisely sufficient to avoid loss of the embryo. Moreover, the capillary tube 32 is made from a non-toxic transparent type plastics material which provides for good visual inspection of the embryo before and after transfer.
This needle is used with the instrument shown in FIG. 1 and is of course masked by the palpator 15 during its insertion through the aperture in the trocar. The only difference lies in the fact that, because it is not tapered, to enable it to be inserted into the uterine horn it is necessary to use another trocar to make a fine incision in the wall of the uterine horn in order to be able to insert the head 35 into it. The external length of the capillary tube is such that the embryo or embryos may easily be deposited several centimeters beyond the incision, which results in improved implantation of the embryo.
When the instrument is removed, the head 35 tends to close the small incision in the uterine horn and thus to oppose sucking out of the embryo. This instrument cannot, of course, be used with a packaging straw because of the portion of the capillary tube projecting into the sheath 1. The embryo (or each embryo) is consequently sucked up from a Petri dish by moving the piston 2 fitted with its sealing head 22 for transfer under the conditions described hereinabove. Thus this semi-rigid needle 32 enables deep deposition of the embryo in the uterine horns, beyond the incision (5 cm) without surgery.
The instrument as described and shown in the various embodiments has numerous advantages since it can not only be used for artificial insemination, embryo transfer or sampling of follicular liquids, but also frees completely one hand of the operator who can simultaneously maneuvre the notched thumbwheel 11 with his thumb, hold the handle by means of the notch 19 and maneuvre the palpator by its shoulder 17, held between the ring finger and the little finger. In the case of laparoscopy, the free hand can orient the endoscope to enable correct positioning of the needle on the uterine horn to be treated. Moreover, the palpator 15 sliding in the opening in the trocar is perfectly guided which makes it possible to achieve great precision in positioning the instrument. Finally, the palpator makes it possible to inspect the viscera, to check the number and quality of the follicles on each ovary, to position the uterine horns (artificial insemination) and then to pierce, inseminate, transfer or sample the follicular liquid to recover the ovocytes in a precisely controlled way. The graduated viewing slots 16 enable continuous monitoring of the position of the piston 2 and consequently continuous monitoring of the dosing of the semen or the expulsion of the embryos.
Finally, the needle may of course be covered with a protective cap for reasons of hygiene.

Dept. of Homeland Security cancels bagpipe purchase order — wait, what?
**Written by Doug Powers
If Janet Napolitano's plan was to line the border with bagpipers in order to keep people from wanting to cross (not unlike Prussia's short-lived 1914 border control experiment with an "accordion fence"), all I can say is this: "Brilliant!" It would be like a Maginot Line that plays Scotland the Brave.
It was too much to hope for, though, because the order has been canceled:
It's possible they were looking for equipment replacements for the US Coast Guard Pipe Band, but most likely the administration was simply covering their bases in case they have to host a funeral for the economy before too long but realized the sequester wasn't the best time to be soliciting bids for horsehair sporrans and Tam O'Shanters.
More at Twitchy.
Finally, just because I'm in that mood now, "piper down":

Choice:Texas -- New Video Game Shows Just How Hard It Will be to Get an Abortion in Texas (But in a Fun Way)
Some rabble-rousing pro-choicers are developing a video game that will "illustrate a woman's quest to obtain an abortion in the Lone Star State," according to the New York Daily News.
In "Choice:Texas," the player picks one of five female characters to overcome "the struggle with geography, time and money to obtain abortions," according to developers Carly Kocurek and Allyson Whipple. So basically, it's like Donkey Kong except instead of jumping over giant barrels to get at a gigantic angry ape, you're doing paperwork.
From the Daily News story: "Characters in the game include 35-year-old Latrice, who is in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend, but 'never planned to have children.' Another character is Leah, 19, who is a bartender and trying to save money for the future."
There's also "a high school student not ready to be a mother, a woman in a high-risk pregnancy, and a married mother in dire financial circumstances."

The developers are trying to raise $9,250 to cover development costs of the game, "which is slated to drop in February." We hope they reach their goal -- this game sounds like fun for the whole family.

Australia is seeking to prosecute a former executive of private Chinese firm Hanlong Mining Investment on insider trading charges after he was arrested in Hong Kong, the country's corporate watchdog said on Tuesday.
Sundance Resources Ltd is a Perth-based iron ore miner whopse main asset is the Mbalam Iron Ore Project in central west Africa. In June 2010 all the company's directors and some other officers were killed in an air crash in the Republic of Congo. In 2012, Sundance said it was being acquired by China's Hanlong Group, but the deal has been delayed, apparently because China Development Bank was reluctant to lend Hanlong the money for the purchase because iron ore prices had fallen sharply.

text: Transportation is a large a part of a household's spending plan. Even so, when reducing expenses, this element is rarely addressed. This can be largely because many people truly do not understand all the feasible methods to economize with regards to traveling. It's not essential for a family to sell their deluxe automobile or their big SUV in exchange for an older, smaller sized automobile. Actually, the most amount of funds can be protected by just leaving behind the car, truck or SUV inside the car port and ridesharing as an alternative to driving to work every day. This simple alteration in regimen could save hundreds of dollars in gasoline, vehicle parking, upkeep and deterioration for the automobile. There is plenty of rideshare choices today. Of course, there is certainly carpooling. It is a fantastic option any time someone that has a home in close proximity is actually heading to exactly the same destination daily. When that isn't an option, a service such as Uber or maybe Lyft can also be the best way to spend less. These types of services are going to dispatch an automobile to their customer's location swiftly to allow them to arrive at the place they are going promptly. Customers are able to use these services for free with an Uber or Lyft promo code. These coupons allow brand new consumers to use the program well before they purchase their commute. Given that people who use ridesharing professional services will not pay for car parking, they cut costs quickly. In most cases, there's an automobile nearby and it takes merely a couple of minutes so they can get to their particular passenger's place. As opposed to standard taxis and also riding on the bus, riding with an Uber or Lyft vehicle driver is definitely relaxing. Inside a short period of time, somebody who drives on a regular basis can help to save a great deal of funds without having limiting their comfort and ease. Each ridesharing solutions make use of a free app which allows anyone with a smart phone to get a drive to their desired destination. The simple iPhone app additionally lets passengers to send their journey details to a person else to enable them to keep track of their movement. Many individuals love this particular feature as it makes them truly feel safe and sound while they ride with a stranger to the workplace, university or some other desired destination.

Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
Torii Hunter crushed a lead-off first-pitch home run to ignite a seven-run 4th inning, propelling the Angels to an 8-4 victory over the Cubs at Ho Ho Kam Park this afternoon in Mesa, as the Cubs set an all-time single-season Cactus League attendance record. (It probably helped that the 2009 Cactus League season was extended by a week and a few extra home games to accomodate the WBC).
Sean Marshall started for the Cubs, and breezed through the first three innings, allowing one run on two hits, a walk, and a wild pitch, while striking out five (fanning four out of five batters at one point) The run scored as the result of a Marshall wild pitch on strike three to Angels lead-off hitter Chone Figgins in the top of the 1st, who then advanced around the diamond on a walk and two ground outs.
But when Marshall took the mound to start the 4th, it was as if he was suddenly a completely different pitcher. After allowing just one run on 43 pitches (30 strikes) through three innings and looking sharp in the process, Marshall threw 28 pitches (only 14 strikes) while allowing seven runs on six hits (including two doubles and a home run) and a walk (pitcher Nick Adenhart on five pitches) in the inning, while retiring only one batter.
Torii Hunter crushed the first pitch of the inning for a long home run, the ball sailing over the LF fence to the base of the scoreboard. Kendry Morales then doubled off the LF fence (a near HR), and Maicer Izturis grounded a single to right, advancing Morales to 3rd. Jeff Mathis then doubled into the LF corner to score Morales with the second run of the inning, sending Izuris to 3rd.
With pitcher Nick Adenhart due up, Marshall had a chance to stem the tide and perhaps turn the inning around, but the Cub lefty walked Adenhart on five pitches to load the bases, thus proving to all but the most skeptical faces in the crowd that he must have been possessed by an alien life-form between the 3rd and 4th innings, probably a vegetable pod.
Chone Figgins was the next hitter, and he slapped a two-run RBI single to center to score Morales and Izturis, as Adenhart advanced to 2nd. With David Patton hurriedly getting ready in the bullpen, Marshall finally got an out (Howie Kendrick hit into a FC), but Bobby Abreu sliced a single to left to score Adenhart and move Kendrick up a base.
The Abreu RBI single was Pitch #28 in the inning, and so Marshall was yanked from the game, as Rule 5 RHP David Patton took the mound. Patton is competing for one of the two open jobs in the bullpen, and cannot afford to fail when given an opportunity to show that he has what it takes to "put out a fire."
Patton came into the game firing strikes (as per usual), but unfortunately the first two hitters he faced (Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter) weren't too impressed, driving consecutive RBI singles to the outfield, as both inherited runners scored (both runs were charged to Marshall).
Patton then retired the next five men he faced (including three of the five on strikeouts), but the damage was done. For the day, Patton worked 1.2 IP (22 pitches - 15 strikes), allowing no runs of his own, but allowing the two inherited runners to score,
The Cubs got on the board in the bottom of the 4th versus Angels starter Nick Adenhart (who went 6.2 IP today, BTW), when Derrek Lee smacked a one-out double to left-center (and showed no apparent ill effects from the quad problem that's been bothering him for three weeks) and scored on a two-out RBI single hammered through the box by Aramis Ramirez. Mike Fontenot followed with an almost identical single chopped over second base, and Geovany Soto worked a walk on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases for Ryan Theriot. But The Riot rolled out weakly to 1st base (3-U) to terminate the inning with just one run scored and the Cubs down 8-1.
The Cubs scored another run in the bottom of the 5th, when Kosuke Fukudome hammered a two-out triple into the right-centerfield alley, and scored on another double by D-Lee, this one roped into the LF corner. (Lee smoked three hard-hit line drives in three ABs today, resulting in two doubles and a single).
The Cubs finished their scoring in the bottom of the 8th against Angels reliever Scott Shields, as PH Aaron Miles lined a double down the RF line, and scored on a Micah Hoffpauir towering HR that landed beyond the upper (visitor's) bullpen beyond the RF fence.
Aaron Heilman, Luis Vizcaino, Chad Fox, and Kevin Gregg followed Patton to the hill, each throwing one inning of shutout ball in innings 6-7-8-9.
Heilman gave up a harmless one-out single in his inning, throwing 18 pitches (11 strikes) with a 1/2 GO/FO, and Vizcaino labored through a lengthy top of the 7th, loading the bases on a double and two walks, but getting out the jam with two clutch strikeouts and a 6-3 GO. Vizcaino took a lot of time between pitches once he had a baserunner, and ultimately needed 33 pitches to get out of the inning (he threw 15 balls and 18 strikes in the inning).
Chad Fox worked the 8th, and allowed a walk (he threw 22 pitches, including nine balls and 13 strikes), and he also gave up several "loud" outs and line drive fouls, but he did survive with no real damage.
And then Kevin Gregg worked an impressive 1-2-3 9th, striking out the side on 16 pitches.
The Cubs generally looked listless today, not only at the plate and on the mound, but also on the bases. Kosuke Fukudome got picked off 1st base by Angels catcher Jeff Mathis after rapping a single to left-center with one out in the bottom of the 1st inning (Kosuke appeared to beat the throw, but it looked like he tripped over the bag and fell off the base), and Ryan Theuiot was picked off 1st base (and he was out by a mile, too) by pitcher Nick Adenhart when he tried to get an extended secondary lead with Sean Marshall at bat in a bunt situation with no outs in the bottom of the 3rd.
The Cubs play the Oakland A's tomorrow at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
AZ Phil didn't mention Samjargia, probably doesn't like him.
On a serious note, what did you make of the pickoffs? bad baserunning or nice defense?
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
I was at the game, too. So I'd add, good defense, too -- that rookie pitcher seemed to have a nice pickoff move. Fuku's thing wasn't a baserunning gaffe it was just an athletic fart, like a wide receiver tripping on the field. I would put that one in the "shit happens" category. Theriot was hung up but it was still a good play, but he never stood a chance.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
Phil, can you give us a scouting report on Gregg? I think most of us here were very unimpressed with the trade that brought him over, but it sounds like he may surprise us.
Re: WAKE UP JERRY ANGELO!!!!!!!!!!
we got Kyle Orton, who needs a good QB?
Re: WAKE UP JERRY ANGELO!!!!!!!!!!
I dont want a woman to be my team's QB. The guy really needs to grow a pair and stop worrying whether the team is fully comitted to him or not. I'd bet Cutler never leads a team to a conference championship game, yet alone a Super Bowl.
Re: WAKE UP JERRY ANGELO!!!!!!!!!!
How can you not want a guy from a town named "Santa Claus"?
Re: WAKE UP JERRY ANGELO!!!!!!!!!!
If you are serious, and have 10-12 years to wait around on a bet, I'll take that in a heart beat.
Re: WAKE UP JERRY ANGELO!!!!!!!!!!
While I will watch the Bears like the turd I am on every Sunday in the fall (unless the Cubs are on), Cutler making the team would at least make me interested in watching over just being a couch potato.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
A few observations from my 3 day spring training visit, if anybody cares:
We all know Hoffpauir can hit, but he had a nice fielding day at first yesterday, and although not much came his way in right today he looked okay when I saw him make one catch. He didn't have to move much and just had to fight the sun, but that wouldn't stop Adam Dunn from somehow moving to the wrong part of the field and then dropping the ball. Yes, for some reason I was sort of under the impression Hoffpower was Adam Dunn-like in the field. And although he's not, umm, graceful, he does field his position cleanly as far as I can tell. Today he was in right and there was one ball hit out there that a faster guy would have gotten to, but he'll never learn speed so there's no way he'd ever get to a ball like that.
I saw a bit of Gathright, and after watching him a bit I'm no longer in the "he's this year's Neifi Perez" camp. He's not completely idiotic at the plate and he seems to be an amazing fielder, based on a VERY small, beer-influenced sample size.
I never noticed before but Ryan Theriot likes to pretend he's batting while waiting on deck. He took ball four today before walking up to the plate. It's hysterical but it makes you realize how seriously he takes his job and how difficult this game is to play.
Even if Milton Bradley is criminally insane, if he stays healthy, I'm happy. My internet connection at the hotel is bad so I haven't checked the box score but I think he got a hit every time at the plate yesterday. The dude can rake.
Some minor leaguer came up to the plate late in the game yesterday and looked just terrible. I was thinking, "what a weak assed swing this guy's got." He then proceeded to tie the game with a rope down the right field line. I *think* it tied the game. If not, it was a key hit at the time.
Fukodome's first hit today was the kind of thing he corkscrewed into late last year, but today he just met the ball with his bat like he did the first month or so last year. It was (I think) an off speed pitch a little outside and last year he would have tried to pull it down the line while drilling himself half way to China. He looked real good today. Another solid hit he got, same story. Late last year that pitch would have been a disaster.
For yesterday's game in Surprise, AZ I sat right behind home plate and I counted 15 scouts in front of me. They took up the first 4 or 5 rows. They seemed most interested in Hoffpauir. I hope that doesn't mean anything. They also seemed very interested in Harden, which is weird cuz I can't imagine he's trade bait. Maybe they were all trying to figure out why he suddenly can't get past 91 on the gun. His fastball was dead yesterday, too. Usually it sort of snaps in at the end but yesterday it seemed flat. Marmol, on the other hand, was a joy to behold. Watching his stuff yesterday was almost like watching a knuckleballer on steroids. The slider comes smoking in and then has insane movement just before it hits the catcher's mitt. I know you all know that but seeing it five or six rows back of the home plate just left me speechless.
That's about it. I'm not much of an expert, just a hard core suffering fan who reads this site for the expertise and the occasional laugh.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
Thanks for the observations, O&B...while AZ Phil is clearly the Godfather of Spring Training, I think it's always good to get reports from as many sets of eyes as possible.
Also FWIW being able to sit right behind home plate, no other perspective comes close. I got to see a Cubs-Pads game at the Murph from the 4th row, first seat left of center, back in 82 or 83. Best seat I'll ever have. First off, Terry Kennedy (Pads catcher at the time) was huge...looked like a 16-year old playing with 12-year olds. And seeing the movement of the pitches really was awesome. Even hearing the difference in sound as a pitch hit the mitt.
I also remember the National Anthem. With all the current and former military in the area, it was the most heartfelt version I've ever heard. Rosanne Barr picked the wrong f'in crowd to do her clown version whenever that was.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
I was reluctant to even post something because AZ Phil is da man, but hey, had to say SOMETHING. Ya, the sound of ball hitting the catcher's mitt is quite a bit different when Harden is pitching than it is when Marshall is pitching. That's not a knock on Marshall of course, just a different style of pitching. I never understood the Roseanne thing. It seemed to me to be on purpose. And then laughing after fucking up? I'm a pretty hard core lefty but I just can't imagine doing something like that, especially in a place like San Diego where you KNOW there are a bunch of people who have put their lives on the line for us. Laughing? Ugh, it showed no respect for those vets.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
An encouraging passage in this post:
"Fukudome...after rapping a single to left center..."
Piniella pointed out yesterday that K-Fuk has to start hitting the ball to the opposite field, i.e., not pulling off every pitch, or he is going to be K-Fuk'd. (My paraphrasing.)
Thanks as always, Phil.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
I always thought that was supposed to be one of Fukodome's strengths -- hitting to the opposite field. Today he just went with the pitch and didn't try to pull the ball. I don't really understand why someone who clearly CAN do that, suddenly doesn't.
Re: Lou pointed out
Well Cubnut, all I can say is you and Lou need to look at Fukudome's hitting charts from last year. He is the quintessential "hits to all fields" type guy.
Re: Lou pointed out
That just makes it more maddening. It was obvious on a lot of his second half swings he was trying to pull shit he shouldn't have been trying to pull. Still, that's a nice stat for us all to see because it shows maybe we're all freaked out about nothing. Today he looked like Pete Rose.
Re: Lou pointed out
While your data is correct, all those nasty swings and misses due to swinging from his ass while he's stepping the bucket do not show up on your chart.
When he makes contact he does spreads the ball. He'd make more contact if he'd stay back on his left foot and wait on the baseball.
Re: Lou pointed out
Word. A pretty good batting instructor told my HS player - 'Eyes, hands, hips. And the feet have to be planted before the ball gets to the plate'.
Re: Lou pointed out
Look at his flyout chart though.
Re: Lou pointed out
I can't speak for Lou, but I did look at the charts before making the comment, and while he's not a dead pull hitter, his base-hits were overwhelmingly to the right-field side of second base. I don't see that as a true "hits to all fields" guy. The way he pulled off the ball last season is reflected in that hit pattern.
I caught a few minutes of the Baseball Tonight Dempster a few minutes ago. He didn't appear to be high, which was the first thing I listened for.
What I did find entertaining, however, was his analysis of the Cardinal closer, Jason Motte. He essentially commented on how Motte was tough to hit, citing movement as the culprit.
Maybe I should have reconsidered taking Beltran in the second round...
Re: Dempster
That entire show was nothing but Ravich going ape shit over the Cardinals. It was pathetic.

Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
Except for the 'sanctity of the clubhouse' argument - which I understand, it's been 5 years so why not own up to who ever did it (unless the person insists on not being identified).
Besides, anybody who saw Sosa's 'act' up close like I did for 7 years of ST - who cares. Sammy said and says a lot of things but it was pretty obvious that Baker and Baylor had rules for 24 guys and rules for Sammy.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
It had to be Wood.
The only part Bako might have played was he was too slow to get out of the way of a flying Salsa CD that shot out of the box when it was hit.
Re: Body Snatchers Doom Cubs
No TCR shenanigans? I'm disappointed.

"he seems to be an amazing fielder, based on a VERY small, beer-influenced sample size."
This is GREAT!

Lester has given up one run or fewer in 11 starts this year. So I'd answer yes. Three of his last four starts were duds, yes. Not worried about him at all. Arrieta is concerning, to be sure. I look it at as, what he was doing was historic, so the regression was bound to happen. He showed in his start against the Mets that he's still capable, and I'd bet on him regaining his form.
marlins getting a.cashner and c.rea from SD
This is not an attack...But In what stat are the Cubs second from last in MLB, in hitting? I don't see this.
How odd the stats:
Cubs 1st in pitching in MLB
2nd to last in hitting.
In May they were 1st in both.
trevor clifton (high-A) could be interesting in a couple seasons...could even become a high/middle rotation guy. he's got a lot of pluses in his pitching except control.
eric leal's (high-A) progression through the minors should be worth watching even if only projects to be an mid/end-rotation starter.
we also gotta keep a long-distance eye on guys like jose paulino (ss-A) and preston morrison (A).
As Johnny Bach used to say when it was time for the MJ Bulls to crank up the defensive pressure: "Release the Dobermans!", and Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Harper would just suffocate the other team.
I'd love to add Carl Jr. to that group - he's got the stuff.
Historically, the Moneyball guys have been great at identifying productive hitters. Not so much with pitchers.
Wow - Pierce Johnson with an ERA of 8.01 in 42IP!
What a stud prospect! Must be pitching with a pierced johnson.
Looks like Ryan Williams is the only legit prospect there. That is sad...
Well it would seem that's all they need now. "Stropy" can have his moments, but he's been more consistent post-asg.
Take THAT, Cardinals -- you beat Fernandez, we beat Sale.
I really like Lackey as a 6-inning pitcher.
Three amigos? Because the Dominican, the Venezuelan, and the Cuban?
Maybe the three-headed dragon?
Who says Contreras can't frame? Stone cold robbery of Eaton with that called third strike for the first out in the eighth
Three amigos time?
he should hit more of those. that would be an ideal outcome. /moneyballs
Russell with 19 RBI in July so far. Grand Slams help.
...and Familia with back-to-back blown saves. Blows a one-run lead vs. Rockies today, gets his 2nd consecutive loss.
I am OK with the Mets missing the playoffs and suffering crushing losses at home --- just want them to beat St. Louis.
He played with fire twice agains the Cubs -- unfortunately, the Cubs couldn't stop swinging.

Local landmark for Cold Plates and Chili in the winter. One half of the building is a store and the other a restaurant.
What makes this worth the trip is the atmosphere. It is small and quaint - old world. The people are friendly, down-home type people and the place has a fun décor and a fun feel. It feels like a small neighborhood diner and you feel like you are one of the neighbors. If you are in Topeka you really should...
This is a family place with an attached small grocery. Great sandwiches, chili in season and the hot pickles are a must order. My mouth is watering right now.
Cool place, very friendly! Neat menu , outstanding chili (in season)! Great sandwiches with hot pickles available !
They have the best pickles! Chili in season is wonderful. Old fashion cold cut sandwiches are fresh just like mom use to fix.
Places like this hardly exist any more. Porubsky's has been around since just after WWII, it's a locally famous vestige of the "Little Russia" area of Topeka. Famous for their awesome chili, and for their hot pickles. You can stop in for lunch and get deli meat and cheese sandwiches, a beer, chili in season, etc. All kinds of folks,...
Porubskys is a must. A quaint hole in the wall in a part of Topeka referred to as "Little Russia."
Not only will you find cold cuts, chili made from scratch, beer on tap (served in vintage glasses), you'll also find nostalgic candy, sodas, a few staples, and conversation to be had for days.
Take a short jaunt down to...
From the ham salad to hot pickles, you cannot go wrong with Porubsky's. Also don't miss out on the Chili during the colder months.
This small restaurant/deli in the Little Russia part of North Topeka is a favorite spot for many locals. Their main claim to fame is the hot pickles and the chili that is seasonal and comes out in the fall. This is a great place for lunch as they have a great deli too.
Eating at Porubsky's is like a rite of passage at my job. You have to try the chili, the hot pickles, and a sandwich. I have finally tried all of these delicious items and here's what I think:
The Chili: The chili is good. It tastes just like good down home cooking. It is quite filling and not spicy either....
